What happen when a US citizen leaves the United States with a Brazilian passport (legal under Brazilian law)? Because he owns more than $2,500.00 in child support he can’t get his US passport renewed. Some that that is illegal for a US citizen to be outside the United States with out a valid US passport.

Illegal or not, this person will have a tough time getting back into the US. Talk to a family law attorney, this really isn't a US immigration law question.

Open a child support case and the child support will contact the State Department to seize his US passport. Aside from that, there is nothing that can be done until s/he returns to the US

He has every right to be outside the US. If he does not wish to return, he can stay in Brazil. (And dodge the court order.)
